Thank you Dad !

'Know that I indulge you, not because I do not understand the complexities of what you are talking and trying to do, but I do not want to point them out and let your faith carry you over.... the eye of experience that I have gathered from my years of dealing with life can see through a lot, but then it  knows that it takes strength, faith, courage and enthusiasm to even defy what experience can predict ... and your little stories amuse me , its not that I do not know the truth behind all you say, its just that I want to indulge you ..... and support you and to show that however stupid and illogical it may sound ... i want everything you dream and wish it to bloom in reality ....... for I love you my son '

This is what my dad told me once .... this is what has inspired me the most .... and this is what I try now for the kids who look up to me as an uncle or as an older friend/brother .....

In my reflection of facts, I have realized that I am more like my father ... How much ever I may consciously try to emphasize every time that we are two different people, very - very different people, but subconsciously, I am just a reflection of my old man , still I am so different , so individualistic ...

I sit like him, I hold my phone and my knife and even my pen like him, if I am not conscious and I often reflect later and realize, my movements were just like him ...

I aspire to be like him, I love that he is a self-made man .... I am yet to come across someone so honest, so upfront and so hard working ..... I am yet to come across a day in my memory, when I would have heard the word impossible from him ..... and a day which won over his spirit ....

Though my dad is getting old but still he is the strongest for me ... someone I look up to and will look up to forever .....

Crossing a cafe in Paris, I observed a very young man trying to explain something in French to an older lady, must be his mother. The boy seemed full of enthusiasm and the old lady's face bore testimony and the marks of a life well lived, but she was indulging him, encouraging him ..... just a moment in time and space that I happened to witness and I remembered my dad ....

You are loved and adored, more than I can ever express dad !

Welcome to my blog ..... My first one .... really need comments ...

Writing your first blog is a very difficult task but anyhow they say that ell begun is half done.

First of all an acknowledgement : I have been wanting to do this for ages, but thank to you Mrs Juhi Farmania, that I am finally blogging.

And since I am starting because I read your latest blog about Krishna, I am wondering shall I share my thoughts on faith or on Krishna or on friendship or just about the sheer joy that selfless Love and devotion brings to your life.

But then let the musings be random and let the first date with bloodspot be more informal where we should get to know each other, me and the blog-site, for they say you should know all the rules before you break some :-) And I intend to break a lot of them .

Conventions and rules, patterns and system, they will all be challenged here as I have been challenging them in my real life. And the purpose is not to rise and become some rebellious superstar , but to discover and to nurture the vagabond in me. The desire will never be to uproot traditions but to bring to life the real ones based on love and respect and the ones meant to promote peace and freedom and the ones that make life meaningful and joyful by inspiring to share and care and to flout the ones that judge, categorize, and bind the free spirit, that try to define it, cage it and control it and the ones that are just meant to be nothing more than power play guised in the form of age old follow-ups.

Does the above sound like a statement of purpose? Well may be its my SOP but I hope that it reflects in my blog, on my FB and twitter, in my thoughts and actions and on every front of life where i express myself.

[Ironically facebook and twitter found a mention above before my thoughts and actions …. ahhhh …. the age of social media :-p]

Well, welcome to my blog. The first one. A new journey. Hope it brings me closer to myself, wins me new friends and foes too. But overall I hope its spices up the journey and enriches everyone who comes across this little cyber-space in bytes and pieces:-)
